Not exactly my favourite but I do like the National Anthem of Italy. It is bouncy and a lot of fun. This rendering is like the opening of Act 1 of an opera, with the full cast of characters performing. Very Italian:

Might not be the best National Anthem, but this full version must surely be the longest? <laugh>

My top three are the Welsh , French and Italian -notable that they are all sung with gusto by their respective people
 
La Marseillaise is my favourite too. Real sword-drawing stuff, down with the aristocrats and off with their heads! Very inspiring. <grr>
 
I'm a bit hot and cold on the Oz anthem. It isn't too bad I suppose, but I'd rather stand and rock along to another version. <laugh> The first clip is as it is, the second is as it should be. I don't think too many agree with me though. :)

I'm with Billy Connolly, who reckons that GB should adopt the Archers theme tune as their National Anthem.

I'm happy to write the lyrics <laugh>
